"Death Song"
Sacred Intentions Book
The deer pour out of
the woods
body of land, haunted forest
the screams of man,
frighten the trees
a cumulous
black
clinging
to the forest
haunted
by gun fire, jackhammers
gas powered chain saws
vultures
in the shape
of people
circling above –
the old growth
the cedars howl –
thin ribs crack
their bones brittle
the insignia of man emblazoned
on their broad chests
new tiny haunted
forest
grown for cutting
cut by their neighbors
they wrestle for
sky
bleeding out the
heart – carved
by bleeding
out the = love forever
bleeding out
the beer tracks
deer tracks
old growth lies lonely
one left standing
haunted forest
haunted by man
they are howling
